Not the classic sandal, but high-quality mules with style are crafted in this course. You can choose the colour and style. The mules are made from vegetable-tanned, sturdy leather. Please see Note 1 below.
After your registration, you will receive a footprint kit by post. Please make the impressions as shown in the video instructions at home. Then send the impressions back to us promptly. We use the impressions to prepare the course accordingly.
You will work under precise guidance, with full explanations, using exactly the techniques, tools and leather that we use ourselves. It begins with the footprint and the individual shape of your feet. Did you know that the left and right foot differ in almost everyone? After the impression, you build up the sole and the footbed and learn how to work with leather. We show you how we work with vegetable-tanned leather.
The duration of the course is calculated to usually be sufficient to complete the mules. Depending on the skill of the participants, the mules may be finished before the full number of hours or may not be completed. Particularly skilled participants may not need the full number of hours and can leave the workshop early. Even if you may not need the full number of hours, the course fee paid always applies without deductions.
Unfinished mules will be completed by us after the course; there are no additional costs for you, except for postage if you cannot pick up the finished mules yourself and need us to send them to you.
We reserve the right to cancel courses if the required number of participants is not reached.
